Donald Trump thus far

May as well start one now, might get messy with Dem primary stuff ending up in here.

Trump: Tremendous peace agreement. Taliban himself said I was the best peace agreement they'd ever peaced with. It's true.

Also Trump:
The United States has conducted an airstrike against the Taliban in Afghanistan after President Donald Trump boasted he secured peace with the group.

I could see Trump carrying the burden of blame for the disaster this pandemic is going to be in the US. Too many sound bites of him spinning shit, not taking it seriously.

[blynk]

Fake News, left wing conspiracies, the bog, dodgy biden (or whatever the nick name is).

He could even fall back and blame Pence and say it was his initial handling of it

[Ab]

This is how he’ll play it:

I think the death toll will talk louder, it will be an indictment of the whole system. Especially when the US finds itself amongst the countries not coping, rather than the ones that are.

Yep. Doesn't mean he's wrong, also doesn't mean it's at all useful because Cassandra's pretty much always get ignored the harpier they get.

Trump seemed a lot more chill in his last media conferences. Not sure if it was someone stoking his ego telling him his conferences are rating even better than The Apprentice (??), something about telling Americans 2.2M of them could die is comforting to him, or if they just got him on a new regime of meds.

More Than 2,000 Americans Have Died of the Coronavirus. Trump Is Tweeting About His TV Ratings.

This is the same man that bragged about now having the tallest building in New York after 9/11 happened despite the fact that he still did not have the tallest building even after 9/11 happened . Nothing new from this moron.

Human suffering is inconsequential to Trump. This isn't a human tragedy to him, it's a political and economic one. The numbers. Not the people.

“I’m not good for medical. In other words, if you cut your finger and there’s blood pouring out, I’m gone,” he told Stern.

“So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” said Trump. “I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away. ‘Oh my God! This is terrible! This is disgusting!’ and you know, they’re turning away. Nobody wants to help the guy. His wife is screaming—she’s sitting right next to him, and she’s screaming.”

The Time Donald Trump Turned Away in Disgust While a Man Was Bleeding to Death in Front of Him

This is just how Trump is wired. He's more concerned about the blood ruining the beautiful marble floor, and the wife's screaming. The man dying and the wife's thoughts and feelings don't register.

That wouldn't be acceptable in a third form science presentation, let alone President of the United States, but here we are.

[Ab]

Like Dan Carlin said, Trump’s a symptom, not a disease. American politics - America as a concept - has failed.

[crocos]

The question for me is how much damage is this going to cause both in the US and overseas during it's protracted death-throws until it's replaced with something else.

Just in case there was any questioning of Trumps intentions here:

Trump insists his ‘authority is total’ in wild White House briefing


That's not how any of this works.

Now I understand why there was a run on TP. Clearly some intellect far greater than mine anticipated the amount of shit about to be spewed from this ass clown in a suit.

Totally unsurprised to see him focusing on the important stuff (not)

and of course he did.
Stimulus Checks May Be Delayed As Trump Requires U.S. Treasury to Print His Name on Them

Late Monday evening, the U.S. Treasury Department ordered the Internal Revenue Service to print President Donald Trump's name on the stimulus checks it is sending to millions of Americans nationwide, reports The Washington Post.

The Treasury Department's order could cause the checks to be delayed by several days or longer, senior agency officials told the publication.

This sucks. Its a catch-22
Coronavirus: Positive patients, healthcare workers to be given hydroxychloroquine

If it doesn't work, then that's one thing less to help people.
If it does work, that's all that we will hear from Trump. Even though he's not talking with any actual evidence.

But I guess when you talk shit all the time, you will get something right at some point.

[StN]

But... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/15/h...ine/index.html

[crocos]

Hush with your relevant facts, Trump is speaking!

[Ab]

I just assume that Trump stands to personally profit from sales of hydroxychloroquine. It's the only reason he does anything. Somehow, some way, a Trump family business or an associate of a Trump family member, or a shell company operated by a law firm that has ties to an subsidiary of a Trump family business, that company will gain the exclusive rights to supply hydroxychloroquine.

[Lightspeed]

Trump is all "We're opening the economy, that's that. Anything that goes wrong WHO is responsible."

[blynk]

WHO and the Chinese virus lab.

You know what, maybe it was a Chinese virus lab that fucked up, but they were the ones that fucked up the US's response. That's purely on him(them)

I'm wondering how much more ridiculous this can all get.

When are they going to work out that this is why they have the second amendment and all those guns?

This has some small potential maybe?

Trumper: "I like him because he says what he means"
Trump: "Most people tell me the glade plugin attaches directly into the anus, and it will kill coronavirus. 100% success. Beautiful. "
Trumper: "Don't take things so literally, what he really meant was.."

Now they just need to suggest he tries it first.
